Sweeping savagely southeastward, the raging torrent, swollen to proportions by rains which have fallen virtually without interruption for four days in the west and north central sections of the state, broke through the municipal reservoir 10 miles west of here early Tuesday and flung a pent up 25 foot wall of water downstream to spread further disaster to the already stricken lowlands on Oklahoma City's south side.

The provisions of the Kighteent'h amendment and its supplementary statues the president said, are "perfectly plain" In the directions they give both to the president and the lie added that governors of states. the country 'ought to comprehend that when laws have been made, there is, and can be no question about the duty of executives to enforce them with such instruments, and 'by such moans, as the law provides for securing enforcement.

While the uddress was being drafted by Governors Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania and William E. Sweet of Colorado, supporters of the move were aligning the conference field for a record test on the enforcement issue, and there were indications that when the governors met President Coolidge in Washington Satur. day an accepted program of reorganized federal activities would be presented. Governor P. C. P.
